» Review: The All New Original Tribute To The Blues Brothers

A construct inspired by the classic ’80s film, this tribute is less a theatre piece, more a floor-stompingly enjoyable cabaret night. A delightful cast with voices picked to suit the songs selected by the original duo, as well as a strong support from a trio of belting soul female singers, made for a fun night all the family came along to enjoy. The only weak moments came when the ensemble of performers, plus the live band on stage, fragmented. Some solo performances without the support of the others showed the bare bones of a performer’s limitations. For the most part, though, no one cared, as the audience danced in the aisles, singing the virtues of ‘Sweet Home Chicago’, and feeling the joy of the party.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
